Chicago White Sox Baseball Tickets

One of the most storied franchises in all of baseball, the Chicago White Sox play in the American League of the MLB. The team calls U.S. Cellular Field, known as “The Cell” by its fans, home, and delivers competitive performances nearly every time it hits the field. The squad played in the American League West Division for much of its history, operating there from 1969 to 1993 before making the switch to the Central Division. U.S. Cellular Field boasts some of the most interesting food in the majors, including ice cream in a helmet and bacon on a stick. The food is just the icing on the cake, however, as the real treat for fans is seeing this historically successful squad in action. Whether you’re a Chicago native or just visiting the Windy City, grab some Chicago White Sox Tickets today for a truly special outing!

Early history
While the Chicago White Sox are one of the most recognizable and longstanding franchises in all of baseball, they weren’t always known by that name. The team got its start as the Sioux City Cornhuskers, a minor league team, in 1894. Across the next decade, the team would reform as both the St. Paul Saints and the White Stockings before finally joining the big leagues as the Chicago White Sox in 1904. Many fans may not realize that the White Sox are actually one of the oldest franchises in baseball, standing as one of the original eight charter franchises in the American League.

Past successes
The White Sox have a longstanding tradition of excellence, compiling many successful seasons since arriving in the majors. In 1917, the team brought the city of Chicago an incredible gift in the form of a World Series title. Led by Eddie Cicotte, Urban Faber and Oscar Felsch, the squad overtook the New York Giants in six games to claim the championship. Following its title, the White Sox organization would deal with a fair amount of adversity, including a number of losing seasons, management shakeups and the notorious “Black Sox” scandal, in which eight members of the team were charged with allegedly taking kickbacks to fix the 1919 World Series. The fans endured, though, and were finally rewarded in 2005 when Ozzie Guillen’s incredibly well-orchestrated team brought the first World Series title in 88 years to U.S. Cellular Field.

U.S. Cellular Field
An icon in the Windy City, U.S. Cellular Field sits on the South Side of Chicago, just off of the historic CTA Red Line train. The field wasn’t always a piece of the team’s history, however. The White Sox began playing as a major league outfit at the 39th Street Grounds, where they competed between the years of 1900-1910. In 1910, Comiskey Park opened in the White Sox’s current location, named for the team’s former owner. A $68 million naming rights agreement between the team and U.S. Cellular led to a renovation and renaming of the field in 2005.
